Many people assume cybersecurity careers require advanced coding skills or a computer science degree, but that’s not always the case. While technical knowledge is important, many entry-level cybersecurity roles rely heavily on communication, problem-solving, curiosity, and critical thinking. This article explores what SOC analysts actually do, the transferable skills employers...
AI is transforming security operations by helping teams triage alerts, investigate incidents, and automate reporting more efficiently. However, AI is...

Security Blue Team is becoming Centri from 1 June 2026. What started as practical, hands-on cybersecurity training built in a garage has grown into a global learning community supporting organisations and individuals across multiple areas of cybersecurity. While the name is changing, the leadership, platform, certifications, and community-first approach remain...
From understanding the foundations of ransomware to engaging in negotiation simulations, students will gain practical insights into managing cyber extortion scenarios.
We need a suitable environment to detonate the malware in a repeatable fashion. This environment should allow us to substitute our mock APIs and host to ensure the malware operates as close to real as possible.
This blog series will explore Centri's adventure into the reverse engineering of a novel SmartLoader malware variant. This malware was discovered during our research into Belsen Group's high-profile FortiGate leak. This leak was advertised as containing a list of affected companies with associated configuration data from their FortiGate devices.
The Black Basta ransomware gang recently made headlines for all the wrong reasons when someone using the online handle “ExploitWhispers” shared internal chat logs of the group with the public — close to a year’s worth of messages in a JSON file.
This write-up is a POC (Proof of Concept) to demonstrate a potential vulnerability in GitHub and Discord that can be exploited. You are free to verify the issue, as we encourage the developers at GitHub and Discord to properly secure their systems to lower the risk of an exploit.
It started like many incident response cases: an urgent Security Operation Center (SOC) alert.
